Also my adult children have recently told me- thank you for keeping me safe when I was little. Back then they would get mad if we didn't let them spend the night with families we didn't know. Now, they completely understand. So, yes saying no is hard but necessary.

You are doing a great job with your family in my humble opinion.❤️

Putting limits on electronics is so important for the child's well-being! I even need too limit how much time I spend. Spending time with creative things so important . I too cancelled my cable tv and was so glad. Being the adult is never easy . Yes the benefits for our children having parents with strong parenting skills is of the best for the family.

The kids may have been loud, but it is a happy sound. You have good kids. God bless all of you.

Hi Sarah and Solo…I don’t regret taking my kids tablets away but I think I was more afraid or scared of thinking about “how I would now entertain them” but to honest: they have become so creative, they interact with each other better, and their behaviors/attitudes are so much better! It was hard at first but each day got easier😊 Love this video…always love seeing the kiddos even my kids like watching with me and yes we feel we are part of the family😆. Be blessed 🙏🏾

You're doing a great job. I've learned so much from watching your videos. It's very hard to not snack. Sometimes a snack becomes a meal. At the end of the day. You do what's good for you and your family.

It’s fun when you interact with the comments :)

I think you guys have a great balance between eating healthy but realistically.

Good morning! I just wanted to say thank you Sarah so much! I learned about freezing bread from you and now I'm learning about baking bread and making butter and cheese! You make me want to be a better homemaker and mom! My son's Seth's age but nonverbal and a lot of the things you've taught me have helped more than you could ever know. My son also loves your videos and he comes running into the room when he hears your opening song! Keep doing what you're doing! I look forward to watching your videos! ❤️ From Ashley & Ben ❤️

Peace is getting so big, she has always been such a happy baby..I love this family! ❤

I have to say I love your channel. Your parenting is so refreshing and it shows in your children. I watched the one where you caught the fish, and it brought back so many memories, as we fished a lot as kids, and the worst part was cleaning them. 😃 Now, I just want to mention that we never threw the bones or the heads back into the lake or river because many people are at the lake and could step on one. I have a friend who stepped on a head and the bone went into her heal, and many, many infections and surgeries later, she lost part of her foot. Please, with so many people enjoying your pond, consider not throwing any fish heads or bones into the pond. Just a suggestion. Take care

I like what you said "You the parent" , you are not their friend. You the mama and daddy and I believe your kids respect both of you, be bless

There is such cuteness all around in your house!!! The kids , the ducks !!! Adorable!!! Thanks for letting us be a part of your blessings!!! 😊😊😊 And you are inspiring me to try to cook bread again !! Thanks!!

Oh G'Ness.... The up-close of Seth, he is just TOO adorable... those eyes!!! ❤

Can’t tell you what a blessing you all are!

We have been going between our city house and our farm for almost 4 years! We are moving to the farm full time once school is out! The struggle to maintain 2 households is real! I am so excited to wake up every morning in the country.

My sister, 5 kiddos, eventually decided, if you want your internet, you do your chores! She changed the password until the chores were done. Now, some were a bit slower in getting their chores done, the others would complain! Well then! Go help your sister/brother to get their chores done!

It's so cute watching Peace having fun with her siblings and not viewing all the action from the couch as a baby. She's a big girl now.😂❤❤ When my first children were small, I bought our first gaming system, but we were hardly home, always on tour or at rehearsals. Saturday nights were our time to enjoy it, but we were often too tired(tv time was 2 hours a few days if at home or during holidays). When my son came along, my big brother got him a gaming system and I still kept the plan of Saturday nights and limited the time(more time given during holidays). I had to take it away a few times for a while for him to focus on other things. The last time I took it away, I forgot about it for 2 months until we were moving and so did he. He instead, got more into his art and perfected his talent, we were also spending more time together. Now my little ones have the tv and we are all watching it together on the Weekend for no more than 2 hours and during the weekdays 1 hour before bed( there is a gaming system but it's put away, they don't even know about it). If the parents set the rules and are firm on what they mean, there should be no problems with it.

So excited for this next venture for you. I will love to watch it

Our daughter has a gaming system and it's been such a blessing for us. She gets to play with family who we don't always get to see and they have a bond that I think would have been hard to create otherwise. We have a lot of parental blocks on it but it's great to have that connection. It's definitely always a balance

I love watching your videos. Great parenting! The kids are all so adorable and growing up so fast. Thank you for the wholesome content!

I absolutely adore your family ❤ the values and lifestyle that your living is so inspirational ❤️

Love reading the comments about warming the honey. Excited to hear what you choose to do with yours!

I love how your children love playing outside and riding bikes and the girls playing dress up. That's how I grew up back in the 70s/80s. We were never indoors . When we were teenagers we'd play baseball or kickball in the alley or just hang out on my best friends porch. There were like 10 us we all lived on the same block. I miss those days when things were easier. I love how you've taught your kid's that all that electronic stuff isn't that important. And now that you've got all that property I can only imagine how much fun they're going to have. I hope their friends from the old house will be able to visit them😊❤

Hello all! When you are building your new home, consider radiant floor heating at least in some areas. Our addiction has it for the purpose of heating and it’s so nice to walk in in the winter but BIG Bonus is if I keep my large pails of Coconut oil and Honey on the floor, it’s perfect softness! Also, when germinating trays of seedlings, I can simply line the floor. No more creative lights, heating pads, etc

I’m slowly working on eliminating more streaming apps and praying for warmer weather to come fast.

Sadly there are just too many people with strange ideas who are also more than Happy to Force their ideas on to others. In this case Lucky you & your family.

Plates never need to be cleared BUT if 1/2 or more is left that may impact choices available for M/T, A/T or Supper.

Hi Sarah and Solo! I love your videos. Just the way they are and I love you guys too! Lol

I agree with your ideas on eating. My husband has lost 70 pounds, myselfabout 20 and we did not diet. We just stopped eating when we felt just full, not continue to eat because it tasted good. Many times we left a bit of food on our plate because we were done. We ate just about everything but in moderation. I still baked and enjoy a sweet treat. Thanks for your insights into this as I know many people that go on diets and it does not work.

Wrap a heated blanket around the honey

As a kid before my brother was gifted an attari...as a family we would do board games on the weekend. Also I had a record player and everyone brought out their records and we took turns picking a song to listen to and if someone didn't like a song or group that was picked they couldn't say anything bad or fuss ..that's how I learned a lot of my parents music from the 50s and 60s.

You do a great job with all those kids ,I had 4 and it is sometimes hard !

Sarah and family have a great week have fun thanks from Oklahoma

I love your channel. It's always so interesting to watch how you manage your family. I could have benefited from your calm spirit when raising my family I was raised with a tribe of 9 I was #8🤗

DEFINITELY agree about the screen time!! When one of my kids has gotten grounded from electronics or we crack down on the schedule, they are much more pleasant! 😁

I think you are both wonderful parents.

I love watching your videos and your family! You should look into the Bosch kitchen machine for making bread. You can easily make 6 loaves at a time with minimal work involved. It would save you a lot of time. Also my son in law is a beekeeper and he tells everyone to leave the honey pail under the sink because it’s the warmest cabinet.

My budget for food (1person) has doubled. You two are great parents. This is reflected in each of your children. Children thrive on a disciplined life.

Cute duckies! We've been fostering 4 baby bunnies for almost a month now. Lots of work but so cute and so much fun! I think every kid is different with their potential for addiction as well. My youngest can be around electronics or tv and show interest but then move on to something else. My older twins were preemies and I think have some sensory processing/ADHD behaviors. My husband lets them play a little video games and they get sucked right in...have a REALLY hard time turning it off and calming down after. Or if they're ever around tv anywhere, they sit and stare even for commercials. I limit to 1 movie most days depending what we're doing but I'd like to cut back on even that.

Sarah and solo you're doing awesome job raising your children Love watching your Videos the Beef stew Look delicious God-bless and thank you always for sharing Is always enjoy watching You have a beautiful family❤

The most important thing i learned in school for dietetics was that cravings don't go away but they only take two bites to satisfy. So share a food or desert: everyone wins. Then the body moves on to the next craving. It takes about 20 minuets for the stomack to process the food, so you make sense. Great job; mom also uses this method and it helps loads of people.

Great video!! I agree that every household has to do what’s is best for them. We have gaming systems here and tablets but there are rules that they are only allowed from Friday evenings to Sunday evening after things are done and then there’s a limit of time. That seems to work for us whereas I know other families who allow their children to play with them all the time and I can see the difference in their behavior and other aspects that are completely different than our children. I believe everything in moderation.

We luckily have a nature trail we can hike that goes for hundreds of miles. But, to have all that land and a pond! My oldest son would LOVE a pond! You guys are blessed. It’s amazing how God finds the right environment for you when it’s time.
